Lorna discovered wooden flooring under her carpets
A savvy woman has shared how she transformed her living room for £90 after discovering a wood floor underneath her carpets.
"It was definitely a dusty job, but probably easier than laying new flooring. We did need to enlist the help of parents, but we managed to do it all ourselves." Be careful with carpets Carolina said: "If you're taking up old carpet and suspect that you may have solid wood flooring underneath, you should try to be careful not to damage them in the process. Firstly, remove any carpet strips that may be screwed in under doorways. Lift a corner of your carpet using a pair of pliers or a pocket knife. Underneath, you should find a layer of underlay.
"Using a coarse sandpaper with the sander, start to work the machine in the direction of the wood grain. Be careful around the edges of the room and work in lines to ensure an even finish. Once you've sanded the whole area, repeat using lighter grit sandpaper."
